by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Schöne Maiennacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schöne Maiennacht,
wo die Liebe wacht!
Aus der dunkeln Ferne
Blinken helle  Sterne
Und des Mondes Pracht.
 
Schöne Maiennacht,
wo die Liebe wacht!
Knospen still verborgen
Schwellen, die auf morgen
Sind zu blühn bedacht.
 
Schöne Maiennacht,
wo die Liebe wacht!
Schöne Augen schließen
Sich, um aufzusprießen
Morgens hell erwacht.
 
Schöne Maiennacht,
wo die Liebe wacht!
Bon Gesang verschönet,
Der im Dunkeln tönet
Schlafenden gebracht.
